6. Compare a red dwarf, neutron star, supernova and black hole and what will our sun become?

Red Dwarf: A red dwarf burns much less fuel at a time than other stars. But why is it red? Its like a fire, the top of the fire is red which is the coolest part of the fire. That's why a red dwarf is red because it burns less fuel so its colder so its red!


Neutron Star: A neutron star is the remnants of a dead star. Neutron stars are more compact than you would think. It spins very fast, some even spin over 100 times a second!


Supernova: A supernova could happen any time, even right now when your reading this! Its a super bright bright explosion of a star. Some supernovas can produce the same amount of energy in a second as a whole galaxy!!!


Black Hole: A large hole in the center of a small object and an extremely large object that even light can't escape.


What Our Sun Will Become: Our sun will become a red giant and will be 100 times bigger in diameter.

    1. They occur when an extremely large star collapses on itself.
